Clacks Council have issued an update on bus services for Coalsnaughton.

As previously reported in the Advertiser, a temporary bus service from Coalsnaughton was introduced to connect villagers to the rest of the Wee County bus network.

This came after Brian Leishman MP said many residents from Coalsnaughton had reached out to him regarding the lack of transport after the closure of The Glen, the road which runs adjacent to the streets affected by recent subsidence.

Now, Clackmannanshire Council have provided an update on public transport in the village.

The H2 and 52 buses will now divert along the A908.

Clackmannanshire Council said: “Due to closure of The Glen in Coalsnaughton, the H2 and 52 are diverting along the A908.

“The section of the A908 between Fishcross and Devonside will operate on a 'Hail and Ride' basis, where it is safe for the bus to stop.

“The bus stop at Benview (southbound) will be served. Previous bus stop locations are recommended for residents in Devon Village, Benview and Devonside to 'hail', however any straight section of this road with footways can also be used.

“Passengers should put their hand out when the bus is approaching to indicate to the driver you wish the bus to stop.

“For residents in Coalsnaughton, the Wee County Bus is operating a shuttle service between the Burns Club and Fishcross Primary School to allow onward connections to be made on the 52 and H2 buses”.
